00:00John Lennon, he said, I've got something to tell you, I've left the Beatles, and I thought,

00:10you're crazy.

00:11Well, the Beatles were splitting up themselves, you know, disintegrating.

00:18It did tend to get a bit vicious.

00:22I don't want to be trapped again with the same musicians making the same sound.

00:28He said, you're going to be working with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and I was floored.

00:34I actually said to him, do you regret writing How Do You Sleep?

00:38John and I were in there, and Phil came in, pulled out his gun, and shot up the balcony.

00:42I think it's inevitable when you're that famous that all kinds of crackpots will come through

00:46the door.

00:47There were some quite unkind things said about Yoko.

00:50She broke him.

00:52You got to have a little guts, and Yoko had a lot of guts.

00:54Lennon's message is probably one of the most powerful statements in popular culture.

01:07This was going to be a concert tour that had never been seen before.

01:11It would have been so pioneering.

01:13World tour, major cities.

01:15I as an individual don't feel satisfied as an artist, or I would stop.

01:20I must always go on.

01:23The most famous person in the world who was then assassinated.

01:25And a man comes running in yelling, we've got a gunshot, gunshot in the chest.

01:29Can you believe it?

01:30John Lennon.

01:31Don't be afraid.

01:32This is only the beginning.

01:34This 60s was just waking up in the morning, you know.

01:36I just can't wait.

01:38I'm so glad to be around.
